Description

This still isn't a finished product but it's a start. Still think another top 6 forward is needed, the defense needs to be shored up and maybe UPL stays in the AHL and a backup goalie is needed. We have draft capital plus free agency to use to fill in the holes if need be but it would be wise to also start to replenish the prospect pool. I was more interested in what the thoughts are on the trade returns for Reinhart and Eichel

I’d make that deal with Buffalo. Better than losing Allen to Seattle

You can have Vilardi plus, or you can have the eighth overall pick, but you can't have both. Reinhart is a free agent in two years max.

Vilardi isn’t that special anyway. He’s a Casey Mittelstadt, Buffalo already has one of those.

So far, that's true.

Instead of only losing Allen, now we are losing Allen & Fleury/or/Evans for a 3rd ? Rather just lose Allen
